Use for request re: Baptism Certificates, Letters of Transfer, Letters of Good Standing, Date of Joining, General Membership Information. If you are joining another church, the pastor will contact your previous church and ask for a letter of transfer.We're going to talk about why the forms don't get filled out and talk about a few reasons a few things and maybe even address some of the problems. I want to convey my heartfelt gratitude to all the members of the foundation who work tirelessly to make the world a better place for individuals like me. "Transferring your letter" is more of a perfunctory act between churches who are merely shuffling members as though they are numbers on a score board. Prior to issuing the letter, the County Executive may require certification or documentation that the criteria for the exception are satisfied.
